When I think of white bathing suits I unfortunately remember an embarrassing puberty moment. It involves a 15 year-old girl (me), summer camp, a lake and an unlined white one-piece bathing suit. Needless to say, I apparently flashed my fellow campers (coed) while exiting the lake after sailing or canoeing or some such event. I was horrified when it was mockingly brought to my attention that my suit was completely see-through. I digress. Fortunately most other women will fondly remember Elizabeth Taylor or Bridget Bardot when thinking about white swimwear. You don’t have to be a screen legend to pull off this season’s replacement for the black bathing suit…you just have to make sure it’s lined! Here are 10 of our favorite white swimsuits:
